Liquitex Professional Matte Varnish, 237 ml

I have been using with Tesco with my first time. It’s very good for white on canvass before I will do art.

Good craft product

This gesso is one of the best I've found. Liquitex is a lot darker and thicker than most. My only criticism is that it smells really strange, never had it before,quite strange. Works perfectly well though. I had 2 bottles and haven't opened the second one yet so will be interesting. Otherwise a good quality product for the price.

Good quality varnish, quick drying, easy to apply .

I love the finish this matte varnish supplies.

Perfect. Top quality varnish for sealing my art Thankyou.

A brilliant product used on resources for EYFS children

I needed a Matte Vanish that was good for acrylic painted models. While its not as matte as the paint it was just about ok. If you do not shake it well it will come out like a gloss, and with a shake its more like a dull statin. You do need a little paint thinner and then you can spray it with ease with a Airbrush.

Bon vernis. Ne pas en mettre une couche trop épaisse, cela laisse une epaisseur blanche .

Finitura molto bella per texture art. I colori risultano più brillanti ma non lucidi.

i love the liquitex brand, this is a great water based varnish (which means soap will clean it up). it definitely requires some practice and a large, decent, smooth brush for even coating. i have a 1 inch brush and even for an 8x10 it feels way too small. if you are looking to keep the vibrancy of your painting i would suggest satin or gloss (i prefer satin, as it's 'glossy' but doesn't reflect much light to give off a glare)

I bought a matte varnish with a full understanding of the nuances of its use. Matte component from such varnih could set the picture to look whitish. Due to the presence of a matte component, matte varnishes are usually recommended to be shaken before use. I have used many other matte water-based varnishes and this one is by far the best. For example, Rosa's varnish had to be diluted at least three times with water so that it would not leave whitish streaks on any dark picture. But Liquitex varnish, according to the manufacturer, cannot be diluted, so I used it as is. There is a nuance in use - you can’t apply a very thin layer, as I did with diluted varnish, otherwise it reaches for the brush, and it turns out sloppy. But a sufficiently "wet" layer lays down perfectly fine, including on the black areas of the picture. Yes, until the varnish is completely dry, whitish areas are present, but after drying they really disappear. In one of the pictures, I got a small drip on the end, which I did not immediately notice. It was whitish an hour after application. But the next day it became completely transparent. So the main thing when applying matte varnish is to apply a sufficient amount of varnish, and not be afraid of traces from a wet brush. If, nevertheless, it didn’t work out and such “dry” stains remained, then they can be immediately removed with a damp cloth and then try to apply the varnish again. The varnish is really beautiful, completely matte, with a velvety texture. Doesn't even whiten the black areas of the picture. Emphasizes colors, which is just a miracle for a matte varnish. After the first purchase, I ordered another large bottle.

A large part of it was a solid block inside the liquid. Even after long mixing, hard particles remained in it. Still applied it on a canvas, but it is impossible to apply it uniformly. It ruined the painting.
